Nou Camp holds no fear for us, Peter cech

Chelsea' goal keeper Peter Cech has said that second leg of the semi-finals at camp Nou does not scare the Blues after winning one goals to nil at Stamford Bridge.  Peter Cech says:
"We've done well in the past there and need to reproduce the same kind of performance that we did and like we have before. It will be really important to score an away goal as well but we seem always to score there and, hopefully, we can replicate that."
Peter Cech gave his best performance at the winning night and he is of the view that Chelsea can go all the way into the finals. Second leg of UCL semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona will be played on Tuesday, 24th April. Will Barcelona overturn one goal deficit or let Chelsea go into the finals?

Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona - April 18, 2012

Barcelona face Chelsea FC on Wednesday for the semi-finals of UEFA Champions League. Chelsea will be looking for revenge against the Catalans following controversial semi-final defeat three years ago while Barcelona will be looking to book their place in the finals against Madrid or Bayern Munchen.

Frank Lampard believes that Chelsea can win this match against Barcelona and go all the way to the final. He said:
"Everyone's got unfinished business with them," the 33-year-old told Sky Sports. You have to respect they're the greatest team in the world; they have been and still are at the present time. That game is still in our minds, but this is a completely different year so we need to try and beat them."
Chelsea have some defence problems as Gary Cahill is struggling with foot injury and might not play tonight while David Luiz stretchered off in Sunday's game against Spurs, so he is unlikely to feature in this match.

On the other hand, Barcelona have no fresh injuries to worry about. Ibrahim Affelay, Keita, Dani Alves and Gerard Pique all are now fit to play and available to feature against the Blues tonight.

It is really hard for me to predict this match as both the teams are playing extremely well. Would you like to predict? don't hesitate to drop a comment below. You can watch Chelsea vs Barcelona live stream online for free at Sports live streaming channel.

Result: Chelsea beat Barcelona by 1-0 in the first leg. Second leg will be played on Tuesday, April 24th, 2012. Stay tuned at Cornerkicks for updates.
